I was walking around Battery Park today when I saw The Man In Orange:

Orange 1

Look closely – not only orange hat and orange coat, but matching orange suit and shoes. AND MATCHING SHOES. Where do you buy this kind of thing???

Orange 0

The best part was watching the reactions from park-goers, like this woman…

Orange 2

…and this guy (note shoes)…

Orange 5

…and these guys…

Orange 4

I felt like I had walked into a David Lynch movie…or a 70’s baxploitation film. Any ideas on who the mysterious Man In Orange really is?

    It is actually the old mascot from the University of Syracuse in NY. They changed their name from the orangemen to the orange due to some sexism something or another. moral of the story is he is unemployed since losing his job as an icon for a university

    That guy is a Pimp probably related to The Don Magic Juan.

    The only kind of art this guy does is the art of bitches and hoes and making mad chedda.

    It’s the black Kool-Aid man, but instead of busting through your walls, he busts a cap and b*tch slaps your mom and takes your sister for Hookin’

    It is not the black Kool-Aid man. If so, he would be dressed in purple to reflect how much he loves the grape drank.
